Business Week's Guide to the Best Executive Education Programs

Are you among the tens of thousands of managers who yearn to someday join the next generation of CEOs and presidents? Chances are, you won't get there unless you go back to school. The fact is, university-based executive programs are fast becoming a prerequisite for success at every level of the corporate ladder...and they're proliferating at business schools throughout the U.S. and around the world. They include two-day seminars on specific topics such as customer satisfaction, 11-week-long sessions on general management, MBA programs, and everything in between. There are lesser-known programs that produce big-time results, as well as those that have loud reputations but are soft on substance. So, where do you begin to select the one that will put you on the fast track - and punch your ticket for higher responsibilities and fatter paychecks? You begin right here. Business Week's Guide to the Best Executive Education Programs is a one-of-a-kind roadmap that leads you straight to the best offerings by the best business schools. The product of exhaustive research and hundreds of in-depth interviews, the Guide ranks each school according to the feedback from its two key markets: the student-executives themselves, and the companies that are often footing the bill. There are verbatim comments from actual program participants included throughout, lending a personal dimension to the rankings. And, to top it off, you'll find Business Week's own rankings - plus detailed profiles of the best schools, presented with the flair and insight so familiar to Business Week readers. Written in a lively and informative "you-are-there" style that goes far beyond mere facts and figures, the Guide reveals the 20 "top-tier and 10 "second-tier" executive education programs...the 10 most innovative and creative programs in the field today plus the top 20 Executive MBA programs; highlights the top programs by subject and functional area, and tells you which companies favor which programs; features dozens of charts and tables that give you basic facts on entrance requirements, costs, and curricula at a glance; details which programs are the strongest for on-the-job practicality, and which are best for long-term career development; and offers tips on how to convince your company to send you to one of these elite programs. Candid, often surprising, and always reliable, Business Week's Guide to the Best Executive Education Programs is the only book that gives fast-rising managers - and the companies who spend literally billions of dollars each year on their tuition - the bottom-line story on exactly what they're getting, and what kind of "payback" they can expect, for their time and money.

As a culminating activity, students work in teams to develop a proposal to start a new business, a self-analysis (including the willingness to take risks), an analysis of the business situation, and a description of the way the business will operate. A general explanation of the financing of the business throughout the first three years of operation is also taught. Students are encouraged to apply entrepreneurial skills to a single sales/service activity to be run as a real business venture. The sales/service activity may focus on any subject of interest to the team and should involve all the members of the team.
